The new Business Talk 1290 AM weekday lineup will feature the nationally-syndicated show "Doug Stephan's Good Day" from 4 to 9 a.m. That will be followed by local programming from Lucy Ann Lance from 9 a.m. to noon (effective March 23), the nationally-syndicated financial advice call-in program "The Dave Ramsey Show" from 2 to 5 p.m. and programming from national consumer advocate Clark Howard from 5 to 8 p.m....

• WLBY, with a program of nationally-syndicated programs like "The Stephanie Miller Show" and The Ed Schultz Show," went on the air in August 2004....

In the most recent Arbitron ratings book of commercial stations in this market,

• WLBY ranked near the bottom with a 0.9 share.
